ALDISS, BRIAN W.

The Canopy of Time

London: The Science Fiction Book Club By Arrangement With Faber & Faber, 1961. 1st Book Club Edition. Original boards. With some foxing to edges and a few pages. Dustjacket in protective plastic cover. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; GPT"The Canopy of Time" (also published as "Galaxies Like Grains of Sand") by Brian Aldiss is a collection of interlinked short stories that span billions of years, presenting a grand tapestry of humanity's future evolution and its interactions with the cosmos. Each story, while distinct, contributes to a cohesive narrative arc that explores themes of time, civilization's rise and fall, and human adaptability. Aldiss masterfully combines speculative science with deep philosophical questions, considering not just the technological advances of future societies but also their cultural, social, and ethical dimensions. From the dawn of humanity's expansion into space to the far reaches of its future descendants, the stories contemplate the cyclical nature of history and the persistent human traits that endure through ages. Aldiss's prose is both lyrical and precise, capturing the awe of the cosmic scale while remaining grounded in the personal and the intimate. "The Canopy of Time" is a reflective work, offering a poignant meditation on humanity's place in the universe. ; 19 x 13 x 2.1 cms; 222 pages. Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket .

Non-Stop (the Science Fiction Book Club 43) (Signed Copy)

Dustjacket in plastic protective cover. With remnants and/or residue of sticky tape on endpapers, covers & dustjacket. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners. ; "Non-Stop" by Brian W. Aldiss is a thought-provoking science fiction novel set aboard a generational spaceship, originally destined for a distant planet. Unbeknownst to the current inhabitants, the mission has long been abandoned, and generations have passed with the ship traveling aimlessly through space. The descendants of the original crew have forgotten their true purpose and history, living in a tribal society within the overgrown decks of the ship, where the original functions of the spaceship have devolved into myth and superstition. The story follows Roy Complain, a discontented tribesman who, spurred by a series of personal and communal crises, joins a group of explorers led by a priest, Marapper. They seek to discover the secrets of their world. Their journey leads them through the strange environments of the ship, revealing the truth about their society's origins and the nature of the spaceship. "Non-Stop" is an exploration of human resilience, the quest for knowledge, and the unveiling of one’s own reality. ; 19 x 13 x 2 cms; 252 pages; Signed by Author. Good in Good dust jacket .
